Fallout Re: obat 55 Albania Hetzer TD

Ran out of time to edit...was adding that the FIAT L6/40 in the Albanian museum (Previous post above.) might have been captured by partisans. Yugoslavia did capture a handful of them. This tank had no export customers. See the second pic of the below ref. for perspective.

About HETZER seems Albania might have got 10 HETZET 38(T) models sometime in 1947. It was a later version that had a better engine in it. Info based on a blog of tank guys who travel to and discuss the tanks in the various museums they visit. Tried the SIPRA website but it only goes back to 1950.

Pat
